A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that Alexander Ogloblin, a former Russian major-general, is reportedly to stand trial on charges of major bribery having allegedly accepted approximately 12 million rubles from a telecommunications company as an inducement to secure Russian Ministry of Defence contracts. Ogloblin was previously sentenced to four and a half years in prison in February 2022, and stripped of his rank, in relation to separate charges of embezzling 1.6bn rubles of budget funds.
This follows the 17 January 2025 reported sentencing of former 1st Air and Missile Defence Army commander Konstantin Ogiyenko to eight years in prison for attempted major bribery. He was also stripped of his rank as major-general.
It is likely endemic corruption within the Russian Ministry of Defence and broader defence industry significantly undermines the effectiveness of the Russian military. Some of this corruption is tolerated by the Kremlin, but there have been increasing crackdowns on those not sufficiently politically protected since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is highly unlikely Russian authorities will significantly reduce corruption levels amongst Russian defence officials.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Ukrainian defenders continue to decisively thwart the Russian enemy's attempts to advance deep into Ukrainian territory, giving him an effective fire effect, exhaustion throughout the frontline.
